Could hacking a tick’s biology help prevent the next outbreak? In this episode of the YJBM, we sit down with Emily Johnson to travel across the scale of life, all the way from the environment that surrounds us to a molecular pathway called kinase signaling. We dive into the fundamentals of vector biology and the transmission of diseases like Lyme. We also discuss the tools and technologies driving the field forward, from mRNA vaccines to the potential of AI, and what the future holds for understanding disease and transmission through the lens of signaling pathways.
